CR: I respect Bayani's reasoning, but he can get offended too if you just blatantly include him without asking. It's like Stan Lee found out you were drawing Spidey and had a hissy fit. He's a prolific collector, and I'm a free art rules breaker... ;P
You know, the great comic book characters like Batman, Spiderman etc. didn't become established because they had super awesome art. In fact, a lot of the old artwork was kind of crappy. The reason they caught on was that there was a narrative to which people could relate. The ongoing story was the draw and good art was something that could embellish that and elevate it.

I told Bayani that all his strict quality control measures did not, at the end of the day, make him a better collector or produce a better collection because they were centered on a character that had intrinsic value only to him. If you think the character is awesome..the collection is awesome. If you think it's meh..doesn't really matter who is drawing it.

Okay are you Frozen Death or Battlewraith? Just kidding, I'm one to talk, here I am as myself again... Good to be back too brother!

All this debate makes me think who came first, the collector or the artist?

OMG, alas that would interfere with my regular Video Conference D&D game, so not happening. My Friday 11pm - 3am time-slots are officially taken... and even if that were not the case, I have forgotten so many things, I am actually thinking of starting from scratch, that Electric Melee looks hot!
